009: Sign a world-class central defender
Matic and the others left for a long time, while Tong Yi and the others were still sitting in the "Nanban Cafe".
The soothing British music gradually became a little manic and turned into British rock.
Bruns, who was staring at Tong Yi, was a little impatient.
At this moment, Tong Yi took out his cell phone and called a phone number.
Finally there was a move. Bruns was very curious and stared at Tong Yi tightly.
When the phone was answered, Tong Yi immediately said, "Leo, I need you very much and my team very much. Come and help me."
Bruns looked puzzled, who is Leo?
A young female voice immediately rang out on the phone: "Help you? That won't work!"
Tong Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why?"
The other side of the phone said: "Don't you know your current situation? The media's public opinion storm and the anger of fans are almost tearing you apart. Do you still want to drag us into the abyss?"
Tong Yi had expected the anger of the media and fans.
He could also imagine how surging the public opinion storm and the wave of opposition from fans in Germany will be. After all, he is very clear about the old-fashioned Germans. Germans will definitely not accept a 24-year-old Chinese who will become the youngest head coach in German professional football history.
This wave of opposition to criticism is absolutely surging.
Tong Yi didn't intend to pay attention to these things because he firmly believed that he would soon use his excellent team-leading results to block these people's mouths and change their views.
He immediately said, "Don't say so much nonsense, do you come and help me with a word?"
The female voice on the phone was determined: "Don't come!"
Tong Yi pretended to be a little angry and said, "Are you still my brother? Are you going to betrayal? Have you forgotten the promise you gave me before?"
Bruns' eyes widened.
Brother? Isn’t it a woman on the phone?
The female voice on the phone chuckled and said, "Hehe, you're anxious!"
Tong Yi said speechlessly: "You are traitorous, how can I not be anxious?"
The other side of the phone said, "You are still the same, not at all funny, and are joking with you. What's our relationship? How can I not help you?"
Tong Yi rolled his eyes and thought to himself that it was indeed the case.
He said, "You haven't changed at all, you always like to joke. We've agreed to come and help me."
The female voice on the phone said solemnly: "Don't worry, when will I let you go! Where are you now? I'll go find you?"
Tong Yi said: "No need, I'm in England now, and I'll go find you when I go back in two days."
The other side of the phone said, "Okay, we'll wait for you to come back."
After finalizing Leo, Tong Yi was relieved. The two of them exchanged greetings before hanging up the phone.
Bruns asked anxiously: "David, this Leo is..."
Knowing that Bruns would be curious, Tong Yi immediately said: "Leo's full name is Leohard Koch Wagner. He is my alumnus and my brother. He is an expert in sports medicine at the University of Sport of Cologne. The laboratory he formed focuses on athletes' sports trauma recovery and sports physiotherapy, etc.."
Bruns nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
If this Leo is really as powerful as Tong Yi said, it would be a good thing for Leo to join Munich 1860. However, he was worried that the poor finances of Munich 1860 may not be able to support Leo's team.
However, his view of Tong Yi changed slightly.
At least it seems that Tong Yi is still doing practical things. And he also saw Tong Yi's ambitions in this matter.
Not long after Tong Yi hung up the phone, a tall and strong black bald man walked into the cafe and came to them.
When he saw this black man, Bruns was very surprised and said to himself: "It turned out to be him!"
Could this be the veteran Tong Yi wants to introduce?
At this time, Tong Yi had already stood up, smiled and stretched out his right hand to the visitor, and said sincerely: "I'm glad to see you, Mr. Campbell!"
Yes, the person who came was the famous world-class central defender Thor Campbell.
Campbell stretched out his right hand and held Tong Yi's right hand, saying, "I'm very happy to see you, David."
Tong Yi immediately introduced Bruns to Campbell. The three of them exchanged greetings before they sat down.
Looking at Campbell in front of him, Tong Yi was very satisfied.
Although Campbell's strength has declined very much, Tong Yi, Campbell's current strength is still 144, which is stronger than the young Matic. What surprised Tong Yi even more was that Campbell's potential actually reached 184, and it was indeed a world-class central defender.
Moreover, Campbell's yellow and green strips are relatively long, and Campbell is the player with the longest green strips Tong Yi has seen so far. Although he has not figured out what these yellow and green strips represent, Campbell in front of him will definitely not be bad.
This further strengthened his determination to introduce Campbell.
Moreover, Tong Yi also knows that last season Campbell was the main central defender of the mid-range Premier League team Portsmouth, who played 32 times in the Premier League and 4 times in the League Cup. Last season, he helped Portsmouth win the Football Cup championship as the main player, and his strength is unquestionable.
This summer, Campbell and Portsmouth's contract expired.
Tong Yi immediately said: "Mr. Campbell, we at Munich 1860 really hope that you can join our team, we are full of sincerity."
Campbell chuckled and said: "You should know that there are many Premier League teams chasing me now. What reason do you think I have to go to a German Second Division team?"
Bruns believed it deeply, and he felt that Tong Yi took it for granted.
Tong Yi smiled and said: "Of course I know that there are many Premier League teams chasing you, but what I also know is that you are more inclined toward the New League in the current New League!"
Campbell, whose contract expired, did receive invitations from many Premier League clubs, but in Tong Yi's memory, Campbell did not join any Premier League teams, but instead transferred to Notts County in the English Fourth League Two.
Because this summer, a Middle East consortium acquired the oldest club in history, showed super ambitions, and made a bold statement about entering the English Championship in five years and entering the Premier League in ten years. This summer, former head coaches of England's national team Eriksson, Campbell, Lungberg, Caspa Schmeichel, Vieri and Kanu, etc., became their targets.
This summer, Nottsshire also caused a huge sensation in England.
However, Campbell went to Notts County to terminate the contract with the team for only one game. Then he returned to Arsenal in January 2010, half a year later. He spent half a season at Arsenal, played 11 Premier League games, 1 FA Cup, 2 Champions League games, earned an assist in the league and scored a goal in the Champions League.
This is enough to show that Campbell's strength is still in the Premier League.
Obviously, Tong Yi is here to intercept the Hu, and he doesn't want Campbell to waste half a season in Knots County.
Campbell widened his eyes, not expecting that Tong Yi even knew about this.
Now this matter is in the confidentiality stage, and he has only had a preliminary contact with Nords County. Where did this Chinese boy get the news?
He suddenly felt that the overly young Chinese boy in front of him was not simple, and he also put away his contempt.
On the other hand, Bruns was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
He did not doubt the authenticity of Tong Yi's words at all, because Campbell's reaction had already explained the problem.
The question is, how did Tong Yi, a young Chinese, know about this?
not simple!
It seems that his new partner is not simple at all.
Seeing Campbell's reaction, Tong Yi's mouth raised slightly and continued, "Mr. Campbell, I don't think Notts County is a good choice."
Campbell asked, "Why?"
Tong Yi said lightly: "In June this year, a Middle East consortium acquired Notts County, and then they poached former England national team bishop Eriksen. They wanted to use Eriksen's influence and connections to attract outstanding players to achieve their bold goal of becoming the English Championship in five years and the Premier League in ten years."
Campbell was shocked. How could the Chinese boy in front of him know so clearly?
Tong Yi continued: "Mr. Campbell, do you think they can do it?"
Without waiting for Campbell's answer, Tong Yi continued: "Suppose I'm offending, Mr. Campbell! So what if he can do it? What does this have to do with you? You are 35 years old now, you are 40 years old in five years, and you are 50 years old in ten years. Do you think you can wait until that time?"
Although he was a little angry, Campbell knew that Tong Yi was telling the truth.
Tong Yi continued: "So, their so-called great and grand plan has nothing directly to you!"
Campbell nodded slightly, feeling that Tong Yi was right.
Tong Yi continued: "Also, Mr. Campbell, can you adapt to Notts County? Can you adapt to the English League Two? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to play for a season with only one or two thousand fans at home?"
Campbell suddenly said: "You're right, Notts County is really not a good choice."
Tong Yi smiled slightly, it seemed that there should be no problem signing Campbell.
However, Campbell said: "Nots County is not a good choice. Is Munich 1860 a good choice? You know, I still have many Premier League teams to choose from."
Tong Yi said confidently: "For you, Munich 1860 is indeed the best choice."
Campbell was happy and said, "Why?"
Tong Yi said: "Because you have a plan to become a head coach, and I can help you get into my coaching staff and become a member of the team coach. Here, you can learn a lot of knowledge, and more importantly, you still have the opportunity to practice."
Campbell's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I don't know where you know this, but I'm really moved."
Tong Yi smiled and said, "And going to different countries and different leagues to experience different styles of football, which is very helpful for your future coaching career. So, in my opinion, Munich 1860 is your best choice at the moment."
Campbell was actually very moved and made a choice, but he still said, "You really plan to let me participate in the coaching staff's work? You didn't lie to me, aren't you?"
Tong Yi immediately said: "Of course not. Actually, I have a task to hand over to you now!"
Campbell asked, "What mission?"
Tong Yi said: "Help a young genius break through the fog, get out of the predicament, and help our club develop the main central defender."
Campbell asked, "Who?"
Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Your old competitor - Sendros!"
Bruns was shocked, Sendros? When was this player from our Munich 1860? Could this be the lost genius boy Tong Yi mentioned before?
After careful consideration, Campbell said firmly: "Okay, I agree to join Munich 1860."
Chapter completed!
